Nine Dolls- Sep 25th 2025
Available to order from below retailers
“When a group of friends reunite during the Hindu Dolls festival on the stormy island of Oban, Scotland, little did they know that it is about to take a deadly turn. But when a stabbed doll is found under a goddess statue and Leela (An outsider who has recently married one of the friends) is sure it foretells death, it is difficult to ignore. What follows is a race against time to put the pieces of puzzles together before it is too late.”

My Friend’s Husband- June 11th 2026
Available to order from below retailers
“My best friend is missing. And the police think I did it. But her perfect husband is lying. I’ve spent most of my life getting things wrong. Bad choices. Bad luck. Bad timing. Roshni was my fresh start. She gave me a job. A room. A second chance. Now she’s gone.
The day she vanished, she managed one desperate 999 call.
“Someone’s taken me. I’m in the boot of a car. Please—” Then the line went dead. I was the last person to see her alive. Now the police are closing in. But they’re looking at the wrong suspect. Because Steve — the devoted, devastated husband — isn’t who he claims to be.
